Why we're obsessed with DIY Escape Rooms

We started making escape rooms for each other to play at home, and now we've designed over 100!

Before MysteryLocks was even an idea, we discovered escape room games in all possible formats. When we ran out of games to play, we started creating our own.

Solving escape room puzzles using things we found around the house, we had hours of fun! So we want you to feel the same thrill without leaving your home.

Have Questions?
We Have Answers.

Creating an escape room at home sounds too good to be true.

Got another question?
Click on the Live chat or write us at contact@mysterylocks.com.

I never played a real Escape Room. Will I be able to play?

You don't need any prior experience to play an escape room at home.

Each game includes instructions and answer sheets, as well as an intuitive gameplay.

Do I need a game master to supervise the game?

All of our games have an intuitive, linear gameplay.

No master is needed to guide the game.

I have a large group I want to prepare the game for. How many can play the game at once?

What we love about our games is the versatility.

Have a large group? Split it into small teams (we suggest up to five, but it's totally up to you).

Print a set of materials for each group, and you're good to go!

If I set up the game, will it spoil the game for me?

Setting up the game does not spoil the game in any way!

Feel free to join the game, as you're in for some great fun!

I have locks, chests, and props on hand. Can I integrate them into the experience?

Adding extra layers of complexity is always a nice touch!

All our games allow adding props, numeric locks and chests.

But as all our games are designed to be self-contained, you don't need any additional props or equipment to play.

But if you have them, you can certainly use them to make the game more fun and exciting!

Do I need to use card stock for printing?

All our games are designed for regular printing paper.

Want to go the extra mile to create a higher quality experience? Printing on card stock definitely offer the games a great look and feel!

How do I download the game?

Right on the order completion page you receive the download links for the files instantly.

To keep them safe, a copy of the download links is also delivered to your email.

Does the game end after 90 minutes?

Unlike real-life escape rooms, printable escape rooms are not time-limited.

You can take as long as you need to complete the game.

This means you can play at your own pace, take breaks if you need to, and come back to the game whenever you're ready.

Other stores do not offer refunds for digital items. What if I don't like the game?

We're confident we provide some of the most complex games you can get online.

Maybe your first try was not successful? We offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee that includes a free personalised replacement or full refund.

The Gingerbread House is the second printable Escape Room we've purchased from Mystery Locks! The quality and look of their printed games is just stunning! The first one I purchased was the Puppet Show, which was fantastic but a bit too challenging for my teen players (I probably should have chosen something easier for their first game). This one was much easier for them and a lot of fun! Their only complaint was that it was a little too predictable so they didn't actually have to work through all of the puzzles. There were also a few typos which I warned them about in advance so they didn't get tripped up on those thinking they were clues! All in all the girls enjoyed it and had a fun time! It took them 3.5 hours on the puppet show with lots of hints, this one only took them 45-60 minutes! We look forward to the next one!

Love this new one! We have purchased 5+ Christmas printable escape games form Mystery Lock. My 11 yr old told me today that this gingerbread house is his absolute favorite! Even with the typos and confusion, this is still a great game. I am obsessed with the printable envelopes. So glad everything fits inside!

A few typos.. the most impacting is: The envelope with the blueprints has no letter T on the ruler. Yikes!

Still a great game to print and play.

There was a slight mistake in the provided documents, but when I contacted the seller, they responded promptly and quickly resolved the issue. They might even have the root cause fixed now. As for the quality, I love MysteryLocks escape rooms, and so does my team.

I used the Gingerbread House escape room at our homeschool Christmas party; we had 12 kids ages 4 to 14 split into two groups and I think it took almost two hours to solve. I loved the artwork and the variety of problems to solve.

It took about 45 minutes to cut everything out and assemble while watching TV. I tried to do a scavenger hunt but got the envelopes out of order so I made it too confusing. It would have been easier to just put them on the table and let the clues tell them the next one as written. There were 2 puzzles we struggled with. The icing on the roof we skipped past (I had it out of order anyway) and the measuring on the blueprints. There wasn't a T on the ruler so I didn't know how they were supposed to get to the answer. We hid desserts under the house but moving it around to the different sides to solve the puzzles made it start to fall apart. A lazy susan would have been perfect! Oh well, even though this was too hard for my kids they both want to do another one. It was a bonding experience for us!

This was a very fun game! It was more prep than I realized, but it worked out and we had a great time! Will definitely buy again.

While we haven’t played it yet, it’s clearly another beautiful and well designed game from Mystery Locks! Can’t wait to play it over the holiday :)

I love these puzzles and games. Always fun and challenging. This one is particularly unique with the 3D house to build. It was quick and easy to assemble all the pieces once i figured out to cut the cards a bit smaller to fit better in the envelopes. My kids will love it!
